In the wake of England’s late defeat to South Africa on Saturday, Courtney Lawes made his way around the Stade de France thanking the crowd, taking in their applause and appreciation as he walked and talked with his four kids UBP
If Lawes looked like a man saying his goodbye to the Rugby World Cup, it’s because he was UBP
“I think it’s time,” he later confirmed, bringing down the curtain on a superb international career UBP
But while the 34-year-old may have been the first to confirm the news, he won’t be last UBP
The average age of England’s starting XV in their semi-final clash against the Springboks was 29 and as a new cycle begins in the coming months, Steve Borthwick will need to evolve his squad to begin the build towards Australia in 2027 UBP
Let’s take a look at what that means for some of the players in Borthwick’s England squad:RecommendedWhy England will come back ‘stronger’ from Rugby World Cup heartacheCourtney Lawes to retire from England duty after World Cup: ‘It’s time’World Rugby investigating alleged racist abuse directed at England’s Tom CurryFrance was their ‘Last Dance’Joe Marler, 33 - Used mainly off the bench this tournament but started in the semi-final and scrummaged excellently against the Springboks UBP
Will no doubt be a big voice to replace in the dressing room when he eventually departs UBP
Dan Cole, 36 - Brought back into the fold for this tournament after an excellent season at Leicester with Borthwick UBP
Rolled back the years in France but hard to imagine a similar recall for Australia in 2027 UBP
Danny Care, 36 - Impacted games often off the bench and finally got the World Cup experience that had so often evaded him UBP
Superb late score and try-saving tackle against Samoa to save England’s blushes in the pool stage UBP
Care scored his first World Cup try against Samoa (Getty Images)Ben Youngs, 34 - England’s most-capped player but made just two subs appearances in the tournament UBP
A decorated player but Alex Mitchell’s composed displays at scrum-half have pushed him above the the Leicester veteran in the pecking order UBP
Jonny May, 33 - Blistering pace in his prime and a solid tournament coming in late to replace Anthony Watson but the upcoming Ollie Hassell-Collins and Henry Arundell will be just two after his place in the coming years UBP
May came in as a late replacement but performed well (REUTERS)Mainstays ahead of 2027 Owen Farrell, 31 - Silenced many doubters with two talismanic performances against Fiji and South Africa UBP
Supreme physical condition and will be eyeing up a Johnny Sexton-esque swansong at the next World Cup UBP
Maro Itoje, 28 - Still only 28 and will become one of the most experienced players in the squad alongside Farrell and George Ford in the coming years UBP
Exciting partnerships are to be built with both Ollie Chessum and George Martin in the engine room and a potential captaincy should Farrell’s not make it to 2027 UBP
Itoje will be eyeing up his third World Cup in 2027 (PA Wire)Tom Curry, 25 - Closing in on a half-century of caps aged just 25 UBP
Bounced back superbly from his third-minute red card against Argentina and will be a key cog in Bortwhick’s first full cycle UBP
Ben Earl, 25 - A coming-of-age tournament for the breakout Saracens back-rower UBP
All-action displays from the back of the scrum mean he will no doubt be one of the first names on the teamsheet moving forward UBP
Earl was England’s beakthrough star (Getty Images)Freddie Steward, 22 - Dropped for the quarter-final against Fiji but delivered a commanding display under the high ball against South Africa in the semi-final UBP
Defensively superb and still only 22, the Leicester full-back should go from strength to strength over the next four years UBP
Rising stars Theo Dan, 22 - Limited for game time this tournament due to Jamie George’s supreme conditioning UBP
Still work to be done on his set-piece game but will be hoping to usurp his Saracens team-mate in the coming years UBP
Bevan Rodd, 23 - Another young front-rower who saw little game time in England’s key games UBP
Took his try well against Chile but has big boots to fill with the likely departures of Cole and Marler UBP
Rodd scored against Chile (Getty Images)George Martin, 22 - Made his maiden World Cup start against South Africa with a powerful display in the second row UBP
Looks like a ready-made replacement for the already departing Lawes UBP
Ollie Lawrence, 23 - A solid, if slightly unremarkable, tournament for the Bath centre UBP
Is still surely seen as the long-term successor to Manu Tuilagi in the midfield and will only get UBP better in the coming years UBP
Henry Arundell, 20 - A World Cup debut to remember for the pacey winger with five tries against Chile in the pool stage UBP
Perhaps still work to be done on other facets of his game to fully cope with the demands of Test rugby but an exciting talent to nurture in time for 2027 UBP

Before opening the World Series, the Arizona Diamondbacks wanted to recount a series of slights UBP

"We just put it on our list and keep those receipts and walk around with a little bit more of a chip on our shoulder," Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said Thursday UBP
"It gives you a little bit more motivation UBP
And when you can get a little bit more, you take it UBP
"Diamondbacks closer Paul Sewald has become keeper of the receipts, reminding teammates of what they consider disrespect UBP
"Maybe I found screenshots that maybe other people didn't," he said, wearing a T-shirt that proclaimed "Snakes Alive UBP
" "We took offense to that and we're excited that we're here and people are still not giving us that much credit here UBP
"The Diamondbacks are tracking closely what the public says, with MLB Network a clubhouse constant UBP
Meanwhile, the Rangers insist they pay no attention UBP

Texas starts Nathan Eovaldi, a 33-year-old right-hander and a two-time All-Star who has overcome two Tommy John surgeries UBP
Gallen, who grew up in a Philadelphia suburb, followed the pennant-winning Game 7 victory over the Phillies with a tweet highlighting the losing team's spring training and reminded Philadelphia fans to " make sure to get those tix for your next game UBP
" When the Phillies led the NLCS 2-0, backup catcher Garrett Stubbs talked about celebrating in the Chase Field pool UBP
Gallen responded to what he said were UBP online direct messages UBP
"I just figured if they want to talk junk to me, I'll say one back," he said UBP
"And I feel like being from there, I knew how to hit them the hardest UBP
"Both teams worked out Thursday under a closed roof at Globe Life Field, where World Series logos were freshly painted on the turf UBP
Both clubs are two years removed from 100-loss seasons, and the Diamondbacks could become just the second champion with a negative run differential after the 1987 Minnesota Twins UBP
Arizona went 84-78 during the season and earned the NL's sixth and last postseason berth, finishing with what would be the second-fewest wins for a Series champion behind the 2006 St UBP
Louis Cardinals' 83 UBP
The Rangers were 90-72 and got the fifth AL slot UBP

"We thought we belonged and we thought we could win UBP
"Lovullo, excited about his first Series as a manager, opened his news conference by snapping a photo of assembled media "just to break the ice UBP
" He had a message for MLB Network's Chris "Mad Dog" Russo, who promised before Game 6 against the Phillies to "retire on the spot" if Arizona won the pennant UBP
"You can't back out of that one, Mad Dog UBP
You've got to do something," Lovullo said UBP
"I do like Howard Stern's thought about walking with a billboard saying that I am whatever, a liar UBP
UBP
UBP
in Midtown Manhattan for half a day UBP
That will do it for me, but I ain't going to forgive you until you do something unbelievable, maybe show up here and say you're sorry to the entire team UBP
"Texas Rangers’ Robbie Grossman, center, talks with teammates (AP)UBP BETTER NATE THAN NEVEREovaldi is 4-0 in this postseason UBP
He was to have started Game 4 of the 2018 Series for Boston but instead relieved in the 12th inning of Game 3 and delivered a memorable performance before giving up Max Muncy's winning home run leading of the 18th for the Los Angeles Dodgers UBP
"I kind of had my moment there," Eovaldi said UBP
"Having Game 1, trying to set a tone for the team, there's a lot of pressure with that, but also a lot of excitement UBP

The Diamondbacks have allowed three unearned runs during the postseason and the Rangers one UBP
MUTUAL ADMIRATIONLovullo, 58 and in his seventh season as a big league manager, effusively praised the 68-year-old Bochy, in his 26th UBP

I hope you find your way back to doing this one day," Lovullo recalled saying, adding Bochy responded: "If I do, it will be an honor to be managing against you, as well UBP
""I couldn't believe he said that to me," Lovullo said UBP
"I was just honored to be in his presence UBP
And I will be for these next nine days UBP
